Video: Galore Bofando delivered an amazing KO on his UFC debut

“I was at home eating my big cheesecake, not thinking about training (when the UFC called),” Bofando told reporters after his win. “I was missing training for a few weeks. My coaches said I need to get back in the gym because they were sending me a UFC contract. … I definitely wasn’t expecting it. I wasn’t expecting it. I almost gave up on my training and everything. It gave me a reason to train and come back.”

“When I was giving up on my training, I kept having this voice in my head that would say, ‘Look, we might as well just remove your arms and your legs and give it to somebody else because you’ve got talent – why are you wasting it?’” Bofando said. “I said to the universe, ‘You’ve got to give me a reason to train.’ That happened. So the universe did its part of the deal, now I’ve got to do my part of the deal.”

“I don’t even know (what’s next) at the moment,” Bofando said. “One step at a time.”
